“…An assessment of the effectiveness of EPPs is an important research focus in the contemporary export marketing literature (Balabanis et al, 2004; Freixanet, 2022; Gencturk & Kotabe, 2001; Gillespie & Riddle, 2004; Lages & Montgomery, 2005; Shih et al, 2022; Su et al, 2022). This study contributes to international marketing theory by explaining how EPPs can influence firm EP through the development of export knowledge, managers’ positive perceptions of exporting and export markets, and export commitment.…”

“…Extensive research is available on government EPP and other factors influencing export success. On the one hand, numerous studies conducted over the years have shown that EPPs are beneficial for exporting businesses (Catanzaro & Teyssier, 2021; Comi & Resmini, 2020; Francis & Collins-Dodd, 2004; Freixanet, 2022; Gencturk & Kotabe, 2001; Giles & Williams, 2000; Gillespie & Riddle, 2004; Katsikeas et al,1996; Munteanu et al, 2022; Singh & Gautam, 2022; Takyi et al, 2022; Malca et al, 2020; Mota et al, 2021; Munch & Schaur, 2018). Alternatively, there is a wealth of conceptual and empirical research on the factors that affect firm export in the international marketing literature (Cadogan et al, 2002, 2005; Leonidou et al, 2007; Morgan et al, 2004; Muho et al, 2022; Racela et al, 2007).…”

“…SMEs are less likely to venture into exporting without government support because they are more limited in resources and capabilities for acquiring information compared to large enterprises (Durmusoglu et al, 2011; Freixanet, 2011; Gerschewski et al, 2020; Seringhaus & Botschen, 1991; Tannous, 1997; Wilkinson & Brouthers, 2006). It means that SMEs are where EPPs are most effective in boosting EP (Catanzaro & Teyssier, 2021; Comi & Resmini, 2020; Freixanet, 2022; Gerschewski et al, 2020; Karage et al, 2021; Malca et al, 2020; Nosheen & Khan, 2020; Zia, 2008). Furthermore, EPPs become even more critical when export barriers are high (Lederman et al, 2010).…”

“…Exporting is a growth strategy that companies employ on their way to internationalisation (Freixanet, 2022; Morais & Ferreira, 2020; Mota et al, 2021; Munch & Schaur, 2018; Paul, 2020; Takyi et al, 2022), doing so improves their skills, knowledge, and expertise (Comi & Resmini, 2020; Kahiya & Delaney, 2022; Kotabe & Czinkota, 1992; Munteanu et al, 2022; Nelaeva & Nilssen, 2022; Seringhaus & Botschen, 1991; Singh & Gautam, 2022), and it boosts the country’s economic output (Arif et al, 2022; Chitauro, 2021; Giles & Williams, 2000; Mota et al, 2021; Priyankara, 2018). Both internal and external factors may influence a company’s decision to export (Bilkey, 1978; Mota et al, 2021; Seringhaus & Rosson, 1994).…”

Governments often fund export promotion programmes (EPP) to aid businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in getting past any barriers they may face when trying to expand internationally. However, there is scant empirical evidence showing that these initiatives are successful. Drawing on the findings of a survey of SMEs in Uttar Pradesh, India, this study clarifies how EPP strengthen firms’ export competence and activities. Based on 449 responses from registered exporters and Smart PLS-SEM, results show that perceived usefulness (PU), perceived market competencies (PM), and support mechanisms (SM) favour programme adequacy (PA) and directly affect the performance of the export. Furthermore, by elaborating on how EPPs can affect a company’s export performance (EP), this research fills a void in the current literature by examining the results of EPPs in Uttar Pradesh from the vantage point of the firm as the unit of analysis.

“…This review also holds implications for policymaking. Most countries offer export‐ and innovation‐promotion programmes to assist firms in developing these activities (Freixanet, 2010; 2022; Freixanet & Churakova, 2018). Given the relationship between exporting and innovation, both programmes should be better coordinated.…”

Over the past four decades, flourishing empirical research has attempted to establish the mechanisms and conditions underpinning improvements in exporters’ innovation and productivity via the learning‐by‐exporting (LBE) effect, and the domain has gained legitimacy and empirical credibility. However, the literature's findings are largely fragmented and require systematic review and analysis to draw definitive conclusions on the factors that influence the subsequent realization of learning from exporting. To fill this void, we critically examine the extant LBE research for the period 1984–2021. We systematically review 167 articles to develop a system‐based taxonomy and conceptual model of LBE, which comprises five major components: system outputs (productivity and innovation), inputs (e.g., institutional factors and resources), firm‐level capabilities (e.g., absorptive capacity and innovation persistence), managerial characteristics (e.g., entrepreneurship skills) and internationalization strategies. In doing so, we uncover paradoxical tensions within the system brought about by the conflicting roles of some components of the LBE system, such as firm‐, industry‐ and country‐level technological capabilities. Our review also reveals research gaps that open relevant opportunities for further research and conclusions that hold novel implications for managers and policymakers.

Research SummaryCurrent research on digital artifacts and international business reveals that digitalization is changing how firms enter international markets and operate within them. The unbounded nature of digital artifacts provides opportunities for entrepreneur‐driven firms to rapidly launch and develop digital platforms for international markets. However, extant literature provides little guidance on leveraging the specific characteristics of digital artifacts and what entrepreneurs should do to facilitate internationalization. We conducted an extensive longitudinal case study spanning more than 10 years to garner data on digital‐based INV pursuing internationalization. We aimed to conceptualize a theoretical model explaining the role of entrepreneurs in integrating, building, and reconfiguring their capabilities to leverage the characteristics of digital artifacts for platform development.Managerial SummaryWhat actions should entrepreneurs take to leverage the characteristics of digital artifacts to support their firm's internationalization? This study offers entrepreneurs a model to pinpoint those actions and possible avenues for digital platform development in the international market context. The model demonstrates how firms can apply digital artifact characteristics during the phases of internationalization and how those characteristics can facilitate and accelerate the international development of a digital platform. The findings also reveal how different entrepreneurial resources and capabilities should be integrated, built, and reconfigured throughout the process.
